Day 254 - La Paz

(Ursula) We visited the city this morning with the other Swiss couple and took pictures. Heinz was able to change dollars on the black market. And, of course, we didn't miss our morning fruit juices!

In the afternoon, we fulfilled the promise to Peter Hunziker, who gave us $50 in Argentina to buy him an Alpaca blanket. I found a nice one at the Mercado Artisanal, and we mailed it off to his parents in Switzerland.

We followed the concierge's recommendation at the Hotel in the evening and went to a Folklore dinner show. The other Swiss couple joined us, and I couldn't believe my eyes when "that woman" showed up in the same (terrible) wool pants she wore today and yesterday. Only this time, she was wearing underpants! The third couple who sat at our table were from Germany, Mr. & Mrs. Rector. They live in La Paz and have a retail store.

The food was delicious, and the show's second part was fun to watch. Heinz and I even got to dance a little.
